Living In the Moment

I do not usually post someone else's work - But when I came across this quote I felt the need to share it with all of you ... I did a search online and this is what I found ... The words caught my attention and really made me think ... What brings you bliss? What tells you that everything will be alright? What makes you brave and authentic to push through?

What is it like to meet Kathryn Antyr? We first came in contact online when I posted on Kathryn’s True North Arts site. I loved how she had such a positive outlook on life and how she expresses these views through Art. I had an immediate attraction to her playful style of photography, the way she wrote and her inspirational tone. I achieved a liking for her photography and writing, seeing I am also interested in these areas of artistic expression. I also found great pleasure in her Journal of the Heart, where others can find themselves by placing their thoughts down on paper. This has been a solid building block for my creativity and growth.

Is there something you like - Even if it may seem a bit child-like? A certain stuffed animal? A Christmas Special that you just cannot miss? A childhood game that puts a smile on your face when you see a youngster playing it?

This was a movie I had been wanting to see for quite sometime ... It was made in 2005 with Cameron Diaz and Shirley MacClaine ... I finally watched it yesterday ... I am glad I did ... Then I found this stack of post it notes (picture above) and it all tied into my post for today ... Has there been a movie you have been wanting to catch and just have not been able to?
